On page 3 of Rolling Stone’s 6 page article The Runaway General by Michael Hastings Jun 22, 2010 10:00 AM EDT ( entire article is at http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/17390/119236?RS_show_page=0 ) Hastings identifies the “most powerful force shaping U.S. policy in Afghanistan.” Hastings tells us the force includes Council on Foreign Relations member General McChrystal, Council on Foreign Relations member U.S. Ambassador Karl Eikenberry, Council on Foreign Relations member Richard Holbrooke, Council on Foreign Relations member National Security Advisor Jim Jones, Council on Foreign Relations/Bilderberg member President William Clinton’s wife Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Council on Foreign Relations member Senator John Kerry, and Council on Foreign Relations member Senator John McCain.
Hastings is wrong, the most powerful force shaping US policy is not this handful of people, it is the organization they are members of. It is the Council on Foreign Relations and its sister organizations the Royal Institute of International Affairs, Trilateral Commission and Bilderberg organization who are the most powerful force shaping policy worldwide and forcing every nation on the planet to become part of a New World Order controlled by them. On page 2 of the article Hastings writes, “From the start, McChrystal was determined to place his personal stamp on Afghanistan, to use it as a laboratory for a controversial military strategy known as counterinsurgency. COIN, as the theory is known, is the new gospel of the Pentagon brass, a doctrine that attempts to square the military's preference for high-tech violence with the demands of fighting protracted wars in failed states. COIN calls for sending huge numbers of ground troops to not only destroy the enemy, but to live among the civilian population and slowly rebuild, or build from scratch, another nation's government – a process that even its staunchest advocates admit requires years, if not decades, to achieve. The theory essentially rebrands the military, expanding its authority (and its funding) to encompass the diplomatic and political sides of warfare: Think the Green Berets as an armed Peace Corps. In 2006, after Gen. David Petraeus beta-tested the theory during his "surge" in Iraq, it quickly gained a hardcore following of think-tankers, journalists, military officers and civilian officials. Nicknamed "COINdinistas" for their cultish zeal, this influential cadre believed the doctrine would be the perfect solution for Afghanistan. All they needed was a general with enough charisma and political savvy to implement it”. General David Patraeus is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and the man Obama has chosen to replace McChrystal. Counterinsurgency is not a Pentagon or McChrystal strategy it is a Council on Foreign Relations strategy. Washington recognized Counterinsurgency as a failed policy that would result in the USA being embroiled in an unwinnable lengthy and costly war that would further weaken a battered US economy. Hastings tells us, “Last fall, with his top general calling for more troops, Obama launched a three-month review to re- evaluate the strategy in Afghanistan. "I found that time painful," McChrystal tells me in one of several lengthy interviews. "I was selling an unsellable position." For the general, it was a crash course in Beltway politics – a battle that pitted him against experienced Washington insiders like Vice President Biden, who argued that a prolonged counterinsurgency campaign in Afghanistan would plunge America into a military quagmire without weakening international terrorist networks. "The entire COIN strategy is a fraud perpetuated on the American people," says Douglas Macgregor, a retired colonel and leading critic of counterinsurgency who attended West Point with McChrystal. "The idea that we are going to spend a trillion dollars to reshape the culture of the Islamic world is utter nonsense.” Isn’t a strategy to weaken a country economically a poor military strategy? Shouldn’t well educated people in the military (CFR member Gen. McChrystal & Patraeus , State Department (CFR/Bilderberger member Bill Clinton’s wife Sec. of State Hillary Clinton, CFR member US Ambassador Karl Eikenberry, and CFR member Special Representative to Afghanistan Richard Holbrooke), National Security Council (CFR member National Security Advisor Jim Jones) , and in the Senate ( CFR member Senators John Kerry (Democrate) & John McCain (Republican) recognize that? Is COIN simply a another Council on Foreign Relations strategy for transferring trillions of taxpayer dollars to CFR/Bilderberg controlled international corporations? If a small group knowingly promotes a strategy to weaken their country economically so that they themselves can profit isn’t that treason? Despite Obama’s three month study and Vice President Biden’s objection to the counterinsurgency strategy the Council on Foreign Relations won, and the Obama administration has embraced it and will be continuing it in Afghanistan under CFR member McChrystal’s replacement CFR member Gen. Patraeus. Hastings writes: “In the end, however, McChrystal got almost exactly what he wanted. On December 1st, in a speech at West Point, the president laid out all the reasons why fighting the war in Afghanistan is a bad idea: It's expensive; we're in an economic crisis; a decade-long commitment would sap American power; Al Qaeda has shifted its base of operations to Pakistan. Then, without ever using the words "victory" or "win," Obama announced that he would send an additional 30,000 troops to Afghanistan, almost as many as McChrystal had requested. The president had thrown his weight, however hesitantly, behind the counterinsurgency crowd. Today, as McChrystal gears up for an offensive in southern Afghanistan, the prospects for any kind of success look bleak. In June, the death toll for U.S. troops passed 1,000, and the number of IEDs has doubled. Spending hundreds of billions of dollars on the fifth-poorest country on earth has failed to win over the civilian population, whose attitude toward U.S. troops ranges from intensely wary to openly hostile. The biggest military operation of the year – a ferocious offensive that began in February to retake the southern town of Marja – continues to drag on, prompting McChrystal himself to refer to it as a "bleeding ulcer." In June, Afghanistan officially outpaced Vietnam as the longest war in American history – and Obama has quietly begun to back away from the deadline he set for withdrawing U.S. troops in July of next year. The president finds himself stuck in something even more insane than a quagmire: a quagmire he knowingly walked into, even though it's precisely the kind of gigantic, mind- numbing, multigenerational nation-building project he explicitly said he didn't want.” Gary Allen wrote: Council on Foreign Relations founding father Edward Mandel House had set down his political ideas in his book called "Philip Dru: Administrator" in 1912. In this book House laid out a thinly fictionalized plan for conquest of America by establishing "Socialism as dreamed by Karl Marx." He described a "conspiracy" - the word is his - which succeeds in electing a US President by means of "deception regarding his real opinions and intentions." Among other things, House wrote that the conspiracy was to insinuate "itself into the primaries, in order that no candidate might be nominated whose views were not in accord with theirs." Elections were to become mere charades conducted for the bedazzlement of the booboisie. The idea was to use both the Democrat and Republican parties as instruments to promote World Government. In 1919 House met in Paris with members of a British "secret society" called The Round Table in order to form an organization whose job it would be to propagandize the citizens of America, England and Western Europe on the globes of World Government. The big selling point, of course was "peace." The part about the Insiders establishing a world dictatorship quite naturally was left out.[Gary Allen None Dare Call it Conspiracy – Chapter 5 Establishing the Establishment http://www.whale.to/b/allen_b1.html ] Council on Foreign Relations members have unlawfully and knowingly combined, conspired, and agreed to substantially contribute to the establishment of one world order under the direction and the control of members of Council on Foreign Relations, the Royal Institute of International Affairs, The Trilateral Commission, the Bilderberg group and members of their branch organizations in various nations throughout the world. That is totalitarianism on a global scale. -- Please consider seriously the reason why these elite institutions are not discussed in the mainstream press despite the immense financial and political power they wield? There are sick and evil occultists running the Western World. They are power mad lunatics like something from a kids cartoon with their fingers on the nuclear button! Armageddon is closer than you thought. Only God can save our souls from their clutches, at least that's my considered opinion - Tony You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "PEPIS" group.
